慈竹无性系种群能值特点及其影响能值计测因素的研究

 本文引用Harper(1977)的构件结构理论,从构件结构单位、无性系分株和无性系三个层次,对四川南充市郊慈竹无性系种群的能值特点及其影响能值的计测因素进行了定量研究。研究结果表明：慈竹无性系种群中,各构件单位的去灰分热值(AFCV)分别为：根15349.42J／g、根茎16372.92J／g、秆17106.06J／g、枝18111.99J／g和叶19451.90J／g;慈竹无性系分株的AFCV(J／g)随龄级增大而递增;慈竹无性系水平上的AFCV为：Ⅰ龄占16.47%、Ⅱ龄占25.76%、Ⅲ龄占36.32%、Ⅳ龄为13.08%及Ⅴ龄为8.37%。用恒容燃烧法测定热值时,其能值变化与氧分压密切相关。用经验公式计算的能值较作图法高;用AFCV表示能值较总干重热值(GCV)准确。     

枯草杆菌BS224菌在防治Ⅲ°烧伤创面感染中痂下组织细菌数量的动态观察

对48例Ⅲ°烧伤病人的创面,定量植入枯草杆菌BS224菌后,分别在24h、48h、72h及96h做痂下组织细菌定量检测。结果显示:枯草杆菌对痂下组织的致病菌有明显的拮抗作用。感染创面的BS224菌体数量24—48小时显著增加,72—96小时而下降。与清洁创面的BS224菌动态变化上相同,呈常态曲线的规律变化。     

应用ELISA法检测人群中幽门螺杆菌抗体及血清流行病学分析

应用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)对307例自然人群和228例胃病患者的血清进行了抗幽门螺杆菌(HP)抗体的检测,同时与尿素酶试验和涂片镜检结果比较。结果:自然人群中HP抗体阳性率为14.66％,不同性别、职业、民族间HP抗体的阳性率无差异。各年龄组间HP抗体阳性率有随年龄增加而升高趋势。胃病患者HP抗体阳性率为61.41％,GMT为1:430.53,明显高于自然人群的14.66％,GMT 1:15783,两者差异显著。ELISA法与尿素酶试验和涂片镜检结果存在相关关系。认为ELISA法结果可靠,可用于人群普查及HP感染的诊断。     

Small-spored Alternaria spp. (section Alternaria) are common pathogens on wild tomato species

The wild relatives of modern tomato crops are native to South America. These plants occur in habitats as different as the Andes and the Atacama Desert and are, to some degree, all susceptible to fungal pathogens of the genus Alternaria. Alternaria is a large genus. On tomatoes, several species cause early blight, leaf spots and other diseases. We collected Alternaria-like infection lesions from the leaves of eight wild tomato species from Chile and Peru. Using molecular barcoding markers, we characterized the pathogens. The infection lesions were caused predominantly by small-spored species of Alternaria of the section Alternaria, like A. alternata, but also by Stemphylium spp., Alternaria spp. from the section Ulocladioides and other related species. Morphological observations and an infection assay confirmed this. Comparative genetic diversity analyses show a larger diversity in this wild system than in studies of cultivated Solanum species. As A. alternata has been reported to be an increasing problem in cultivated tomatoes, investigating the evolutionary potential of this pathogen is not only interesting to scientists studying wild plant pathosystems. It could also inform crop protection and breeding programs to be aware of potential epidemics caused by species still confined to South America.     

Two centuries of spatial and temporal dynamics of freshwater fish introductions

Aim

Investigating major freshwater fish flows (translocations) between biogeographic regions and their temporal dynamics and also quantifying spatial patterns and temporal changes in the array of introduced species, and the emergence and distance between major donor and recipient regions.

Location

Global.

Time Period

1800–2020.

Major Taxa Studied

Freshwater fishes.

Methods

We analysed a global dataset on freshwater fish introductions (4241 events of 688 species). Freshwater fish flows were investigated with flow diagrams and χ² tests, while PERMANOVA (permutational multivariate analysis of variance) was used to test the association between species and regions and temporal shifts. Cluster analysis revealed major recipient areas and composition of the introduced species. Finally, changes in distances between donor and recipient sites were tested with PERMANOVA.

Results

The number of introductions between biogeographic regions mirrored the European and North American dominance before World War II (WWII) and the trends in recreational fishing, biocontrol programmes and food production, especially in the Sino-Oriental region, which has a long tradition of aquaculture and fishkeeping. Over the years, the origins and composition of introduced species changed uniquely in each biogeographic region, although the most introduced species are common to every region. Salmonids and other cold-water species were frequently introduced before the 1950s, whereas tropical ornamental and aquaculture species currently prevail. Distances between donor and recipient sites did not vary over the time. After WWII, the Sino-Oriental region consolidated its dominance and the Ethiopian and Neotropical regions emerged as new global donor and recipient regions.

Main Conclusions

Global policy should focus on tropical ornamental and aquaculture species, which could benefit from global warming, especially in the Sino-Oriental region, because it currently dominates freshwater fish species flows, and the Ethiopian and Neotropical regions, because they recently emerged as important global donor and recipient regions of freshwater fish introductions.     

Continuous polyhydroxybutyrate production from biogas in an innovative two-stage bioreactor configuration

Biogas biorefineries have opened up new horizons beyond heat and electricity production in the anaerobic digestion sector. Added-value products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), which are environmentally benign and potential candidates to replace conventional plastics, can be generated from biogas. This work investigated the potential of an innovative two-stage growth-accumulation system for the continuous production of biogas-based polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) using Methylocystis hirsuta CSC1 as cell factory. The system comprised two turbulent bioreactors in series to enhance methane and oxygen mass transfer: a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a bubble column bioreactor (BCB) with internal gas recirculation. The CSTR was devoted to methanotrophic growth under nitrogen balanced growth conditions and the BCB targeted PHB production under nitrogen limiting conditions. Two different operational approaches under different nitrogen loading rates and dilution rates were investigated. A balanced nitrogen loading rate along with a dilution rate (D) of 0.3 day⁻¹ resulted in the most stable operating conditions and a PHB productivity of ~53 g PHB m⁻³ day⁻¹. However, higher PHB productivities (~127 g PHB m⁻³ day⁻¹) were achieved using nitrogen excess at a D = 0.2 day⁻¹. Overall, the high PHB contents (up to 48% w/w) obtained in the CSTR under theoretically nutrient balanced conditions and the poor process stability challenged the hypothetical advantages conferred by multistage vs single-stage process configurations for long-term PHB production.     

Strain distribution pattern in AXB and BXA recombinant inbred strains for loci on murine Chromosomes 10, 13, 17, and 18

Strain distribution patterns (SDPs) of selected loci previously mapped to murine Chromosomes (Chrs) 10, 13, 17, and 18 are reported for the AXB, BXA recombinant inbred (RI) strain set derived from the progenitor strains A/J (A) and C57BL/6J (B). The loci included the simple sequence length polymorphisms (D10Nds1, D10Mit2, D10Mit10, D10Mit14, D13Mit3, D13Nds1, D13Mit10, D13Mit13, D13Mit7, D13Mit11, D17Mit18, D17Mit10, D17Mit20, D17Mit3, D17Mit2, D18Mit17, D18Mit9, and D18Mit4), the restriction fragment length polymorphisms Pdea and Csfmr, and the biochemical marker AS-1. These loci were chosen because they map to genomic regions that had few or no genetic markers in the AXB, BXA RI set. Several of these loci also were typed in backcross progeny of matings of the (AXB)F₁ to strain A or B. The strain distribution patterns for chromosomes 10, 13, 17, and 18 are reported, and the gene order and map distances determined from the backcross data. The addition of these markers to the AXB, BXA RI strain set increases the genomic region over which linkage for new markers can be detected.
